Hiswife remarks: “I never thought I’d seethe day when he would stop smoking.Les used to cough but I haven’t heardhim cough at all. I can’t believe it.”With the money he has saved fromquitting smoking, the couple wereable to go on holiday to Newquay lastsummer.“I am determined not to start smokingagain and they have been great atthe stop smoking clinic. They havesaid to me to keep coming if I wantto,” comments Les, who has beento the service’s clinics at LitherlandTown Hall and May Logan Centre,Knowsley Road.

Carbonmonoxide is known as the silent killer as it hasno smell, taste or colour. It can kill you or causeand managed to get home for Christmas. I am a76–year–old woman with a heart problem.I remember feeling ill on Sunday, December 2and remember needing to dial 999 but sittingon the sofa too ill to move.I had sat there all Sunday afternoon, all dayMonday and half of Tuesday.The house had gone freezing cold and whenthey managed to bring me round I wasconfused and thought it was still Sunday.I had not been drinking or taking tablets.It was a very frightening experience and I amthankfull for all the people who helped.I would say never hesitate to look in on aperson if you feel something is wrong.Mavis Luke,BirkdalePICTURE of the weekTHE Ancient Chapelin the grounds of StAndrew’s ParishChurch in Maghull,was built in the 12thCentury and is theoldest consecratedbuilding still inregular use onMerseyside.

The only way tofully protect yourself and your family is to havean carbon monoxide alarm that makes a loudnoise when gas is present. They are widelyavailable and cost around £15.Carbon monoxide is produced when fuelssuch as gas, oil, charcoal, coal and wood do notburn fully.The most common cause of this is when afuel–burning appliance, such as a boiler, isinstalled incorrectly or poorly maintained.For more information about how to stay safevisit www.co–bealarmed.co.ukKaren Roe,Carbon Monoxide – Be Alarmed! campaignClosing council offices moreoften could help save librariesIt was with great interest that I read thereport by Natasha Young on page 2 of theChampion published on Wednesday,December 19, 2012.The report tells us that by closing most ofthe buildings on four days, in addition to thestatutory holidays on Christmas Day, BoxingDay and New Year’s Day, the council willsave £800,000 wages and running costs or£200,000 per day.This has made me wonder why the councilseems hell–bent on depriving us of our locallibraries in order to save around £400,000when closing the same council buildings fortwo further days in the whole coming yearwould achieve the same saving.By their own definition these are notwww.champnews.com/pixonlineAmazed how community ralliedround to help me find my dogI would like to send my heart felt gratitudeto everyone in Formby that assisted incatching my runaway dog on Friday,December 21.I had re–homed her less than two weeksago and was devastated when she escaped.I was totally amazed at how the communityof Formby pulled together in an attempt todetain a very frightened dog.After two and a half hours of chasing heraround Formby, the motorists, joggers anddog walkers that helped me were totallyclassed as “essential services” and spacedout over a year, two more days cannot beregarded as critical.It would also avoid having to make a largepercentage of the library personnelredundant.I know for a fact that any person, howeverwell qualified, over the age of about 40 willhave great difficulty in finding otheremployment if they have been maderedundant.I hope, therefore, that sense will prevail,but maybe I am an optimist.Dr SC Pearce,SouthportFireworks maderesort soundlike a war zoneYou may think I’m a spoilsport but I don’tunderstand why New Year’s Eve has nowturned into such a big occasion which has to becelebrated with ear–splitting, house–shakingfirework noise.This year’s noise level in Southport wasintolerable.A lot of people have to work on New Year’sDay and need to sleep (as do the elderly andanyone who is ill) and don’t want to be keptawake by endless hours of violent noise.And what about our terrified pets and the wildcreatures who are distressed by the sounds?There must be proper guidelines for noiselevels at night, even on New Year’s Eve.Surely fireworks were originally designed togive a dazzling visual display and can be just asgloriously spectacular without the addedWorld War One sound effects.It must still be possible to buy quieter ones.Have we lost the ability to have fun withoutraucous noise?By all means light up the skies and celebratebut please can we do it in a quieter morethoughtful way, and start the New Year withmore consideration for other people and foranimals.Name supplied,By emailamazing. I’m sure at this time of year, theyall had much more important things to do,however, with all their help, she was safelybrought back home.I must say, she slept extremely well thatnight after all her exercise!I would like to thank every one who helpedme on the night.I am eternally grateful.The grateful dog owner,FormbyWrite to the Editor atClare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QAEmaileditorial@champnews.comNewsdesk01704 392 400Websitewww.champnews.comGroup EditorMalcolm HindleAround 107,000† people will read thisThey could have been reading YOUR message† Publisher’s statement.

The Champion • Wednesday 9 January 2013It’s been a bad week forthe humble non car ownerIT’S been a pretty bad week for noncar owners such as I.We have successive Governmentssounding off about Saving the Planet,and justifying sky–high taxation ofmotor fuel on the grounds that this is a‘Green Tax’ designed to wean mostof you out of your cars.Yet at the same time, terrified ofreally upsetting the motoring lobby,politicians try to make a virtue of notimposing another ‘Green’increment.To hear them talk you’d think theyhad somehow reduced the cost ofdriving.But what alternatives? Well, ofcourse, cycling is the new saviour ofthe ozone layer (remember that?).But let’s face it, cycling is not reallyfor the many as a practical form ofeveryday transport.Quite apart from it being the mostdangerous way of getting about, trycycling 10 miles or so to work – andback – in all weathers.Oh, and you can forget about pickingup some shopping on the way hometoo.Or, like me you can turn to Shank’spony (and that’s been a damp andmiserable experience lately), the busand the train.So what is our wonderfully ‘Green’Government doing to encourage us todo any of these things?Well, they are reducing the busoperators’ grant and mutteringdarkly about withdrawing or limitingfree bus travel for elderly people.And then they are presiding over thisdaft scheme of raising train faresannually by the cost of inflation plustwo per cent. Her Majesty’sOpposition are screaming about theiniquity of this of course – though itwas they who introduced thismoney–making masterplan someyears ago.And by the way, it is risible to suggestthat the extra money raised isreinvested in the railway. It goes intothe pot at the Ministry of Transport (isit still called that?) and is just as likelyto end up in a new runway atHeathrow or a motorway wideningscheme.Still, enough of this for the present.Believe it or not, the thing thatSFbrought this ‘Dog’ on was not theunfair rising of train fares, or theequally unfair treatment of our busoperators, not even the silly idea of usall on our bikes.No it was an article I scanned in anational motoring magazine about asoon to be released Mercedes Benzthat will come fully fitted out with avariety of driver aids, many of whichare there to relieve the driver ofhaving to think or do for him orherself.This includes headlights whichautomatically come onto full beam.When the car detects a vehiclecoming towards it, these lights areautomatically ‘masked’ – which Itake to mean dipped to you and me.Which is of course fine if you arepiloting an oncoming car.But somehow I doubt that it wouldtrouble to detect me or any otherpedestrian.Folk on foot at night are already putin real danger by direction turnindicators made totally invisible toanyone on the nearside pavement ifthey are incorporated into the mainheadlamp unit – as many these daysare, presumably for reasons of styling.Now we are to be subjected to carswhich automatically ignore us atnight. It’s bad enough on a well–litroad.

In just 18 months we’ve seennearly 80% of investigated cases result in apositive outcome.“Smaller businesses want to see shorter andeasier pre–qualification assessments, and getfrustrated when the lack of properlyadvertising contracts or pre–procurementengagement causes unnecessary delays to theprocess as a whole.“Remember, this service is anonymous. It’sin the best interests of SMEs to continue to useour Mystery Shopper service – with their helpwe’ll be able to drive even furtherimprovements and stamp out bad practiceacross public sector contracts.”1115372

It’s aboutreliving those great tracks, and if we didn’thave the traits of Stevie Nicks and ChristineMcVie in the vocals thenIdon’t think that as aband we would’ve pushed forward in the waywe have.“Mick’s played with us himself acouple oftimes, which was bizarre, butIdon’t think youcan haveabetter testament to our shows thanthat.”Rumours of Fleetwood Mac will play atLiverpool Philharmonic Hall on February 15and at Southport Theatre on February 27.

DUE INwere given them bytheir fleet managers,which I think partlyexplained why theMondeo always gotsuch a kicking in thecustomer satisfactionsurveys.If you buy a carprivately you cherishit because you choseit carefully and paidfor it with your ownmoney; if it’s arepmobile you’re notgoing to be asbothered.Unless it breaks, inwhich case you – andyour bosses – will befurious.I also reckon, thoughI’m happy to beproven otherwise,that there’s neverbeen a bad Mondeo.Sure, there’ll havebeen an iffy specialedition or two in thecar’s 20 year historyand obviously someare better than othersbut I’ve alwaysthought the basicpackage – sensiblesaloon practicalityand Ford value formoney mixed with adash of driving fun –has a certainsomething.I’ll let you into a littlesecret; everyone Iknow who reallyknows their stuff oncars likes theMondeo.These days, though,the Mondeo and its ilkare an an endangeredbreed, and it’s not justthe £1.30 litre apetrol prices pushingthe few remainingreps into familyhatches instead.Mondeo Man thesedays is buying hisown car with his ownmoney, and if he isn’tploughing his hardearned into aninfinitely trendierNissan Qashqai thanhe’s got the choice ofthe BMW 3 Series orthe Ford Mondeo.I’ll say that again;BMW or Ford. Even ifthe new Mondeolooks like an AstonMartin Rapide thatshrank in the wash –which, amazingly, itdoes – it doesn’t standa chance.Keen to find outwhat all the fuss isabout, I’ve driven thenew 3 Series andwould like to tell youthat it’s rubbish andthat you should buy aMondeo instead.Only I can’t, becauseit’s brilliant.

All our carers are committed to providing the highest quality care.Our latest Service User Satisfaction Survey confirms the highest quality service levels.CHRISTOPHER WILLIAMS -CARE ADMIN ASSISTANT:I started in 2011 as a full time carer. Howeverin my employment experience to date I havebeen very involved with IT. I still work parttimeas a carer, which I combine with work asan evening coordinator and admin assistant inthe office team. I find it very rewarding to assistdisadvantaged persons to live independently intheir own homes.JACKIE MURRAY - RECRUITMENT/HR MANAGER:I started with the team as a carer in 2005. I took over the role of Recruitment and Training Managerfrom Pauline in December 2005. I am very mindful of the crucial importance of selecting the rightkind of person to be an AllCare carer. Previous care sector experience is not essential. Kindness,dependability and the desire to care are. I then work with Jude and Val to ensure all of our carershave the appropriate training and equipment to provide the required care. I find it very rewardingwhen we receive the positive feed back from our clients.SARAH LEATHERBARROW -ACCOUNTS MANAGER:I started working with the AllCare team in 1994as a carer. Through the years I worked as acoordinator and have been Accounts Managersince 2000. I cover all aspects of accounts, billingand wages administration. Like all members ofthe team we tend to multi-task. Although wehave specific duties we also cover for each otherduring holidays and sickness. I cover for Liz,Louise and Maxine when they are not working.Our sole objective is to ensure the appropriatecare, to the right client, at the right time.JUDE KAYA & VAL McDADE -LIZ WARDELL &LOUISE DENNIS - CARECO-ORDINATORS:We both worked for AllCare as carers since 2004.This experience was invaluable as our careersadvanced with the team and we became day coordinators.We open the office at 7.00am everymorning. It is essential to confirm all plannedvisits are covered. We are also available to give Carers and Clients the supportthey need as care packages can commence at 7.00am. It is our principal functionto ensure all calls are covered. It gives us great job satisfaction to know at the endof each day’s work all calls have been made in addition to any extra requirementsService Users phone in with.SYBILLE THOMPSON -ADMIN ASSISTANT:I have worked in care for many years as a carer. Icame to work with the AllCare team in 2003 as anadmin assistant. My previous care experience hasproved invaluable in my work. Its very rewardingto work in the AllCare environment, with aprofessional caring and friendly team. From timeto time I am able to go out to the Service Usershouses to provide care, which gives me a valuableinsight as to how well the care team are performing.ASSESSORS/TRAINERS:We share two main responsibilities. We visiteach new client before our carers commencecare. We ensure each client is in receipt of themaximum financial assistance. We also ensurethat all clients have the necessary care plan,time and equipment to cover their care needs.If the carers allocated require specific skill or training we make the necessaryarrangements. In addition we give the regular training and upgrading requiredby the regulatory bodies. Both of our roles are very satisfying as we are able toenhance the quality of life of our Service Users allowing them to live independently,comfortably and securely in their own homes.MAXINE MASON - SENIORCARE CO-ORDINATORI started working with the team in 1997. Myprevious position was as a Care Home Manager,a position I took over from Pauline. My mainrole is to allocate all care calls to the appropriatecarers and produce care rotas one week inadvance. This allows carers to plan their weekand confirms continuity of care for Service Users. I also cover as a day co-ordinatorwhen Liz and Louise are not working.

Code1055643A MAJOR operation to help protect Formby’ssand dunes is now underway.Volunteers gathered on Saturday morning tobegin planting over 5,000 Christmas trees,donated by Homebase, in the famouslandscape at the National Trust’s site atFormby.The trees help to combat coastal erosion byslowing up movement of sand dunes – andhave proved extremely effective in the past.The team at Formby has been acceptingdonations of Christmas trees for a number ofyears from local residents and businesses andthis is the second time they have received acontribution on this scale.The Christmas trees that were planted onSaturday will be used to create more than amile of brush fencing, placing the trees in rowswhere the dunes are most vulnerable.The process will hopefully slow down erosionby catching sand to help build up the dunes.In the coming months, the trees will graduallybe buried, helping to hold the dunes together.Andrew Brockbank, Countryside Manager forthe National Trust at Formby, said: “Formby ispart of the beautiful Sefton Coast sand dunesystem with its typical dune habitats andwildlife of national and European significance.“The dunes are under constant pressure from...another tree plantedthe forces of wind and tide, and are activelybuilding and moving inland as the coastlineretreats at a rate of around four metres a year.“We are trying to slow the sand as it blowsacross the dunes and these trees make anexcellent material for building these brushfences to effectively trap sand in the dunes. Themobile dunes are a natural sea defence whichhelp to buffer high tides and storm surges.”The National Trust are now calling on Formbyresidents to get involved in the project.Mr Brockbank added: “We’d still like moremembers of the public to come along and bringtheir Christmas trees: we’ve another collectionand planting session this Saturday, January 12,between 11am and 2pm, so if you’ve still gotyour Christmas tree and some time to sparewe’d love to see you.“If you belong to a group and would like tohelp plant the trees, contact the Formbycountryside office on 01704 878591.”1115509

The Champion • Wednesday 9 January 2013Council reservesare ‘spoken for’...but MP calls for local authority to bemore transparent about its financesby Natasha YoungSEFTON Council has deniedit is sitting on millions ofpounds of cash reserves whileit continues to make cuts.MP, John Pugh, called forthe authority to be moretransparent about itsfinances and publish a full‘Revenue Budget’ book,which he says was lastprinted in 2004–05, claimingthere is “considerable spin”coming from both the counciland the government over thebudget.He told the Champion that,following the announcementthat Sefton’s grants would bereduced by a further 2.2%,which the council estimatewill add £7m to its deficit, thesituation was a “loadeddialogue of the deaf with thecouncil talking about ‘thebudget gap’ and thegovernment talking aboutcouncil ‘spending power’.”He added: “It is not obviouswhy a small reduction in‘spending power’ leads tosuch a ‘massive budget gap’.“I have no doubt that thecouncil is facing reductionsand a tough budget roundbut it does not help thatSefton has not since 2005published a full revenueJohn Pugh with the lastRevenue Budget bookbudget. They were a model offinancial transparency andnow are just as selective ascentral government is.”In September last year theLiberal Democrat raised thequestion in Parliament ofwhat reserves and balancesare registered with theDepartment for Communitiesand Local Government forSefton Council.He was told that the localauthority had £18.5m tied upin ‘school reserves’, £41.4min ‘other earmarkedfinancial reserves’ and £3.7min ‘unallocated financialreserves’.The MP’s commentsfollowed recent reports in thenational press on councilcuts, in which CommunitiesSecretary Eric Pickles said:“It is unacceptable that somecouncils are stashing awaybillions, turning town hallsinto Fort Knox, whilst at thesame time threatening to cutfrontline services.”A Sefton Councilspokesperson dismissed theclaims that the council haslarge amounts of moneyavailable in reserves, statingthe ‘other earmarkedfinancial reserves’ were all“spoken for” in projects suchas the Switch Island Link, TheAtkinson and Decent Homestransfer to One VisionHousing.Meanwhile the ‘unalloca–ted financial reserves’ is saidto be set aside for “emer–gencies and unforeseencircumstances.”As for the council’stransparency, the spokesperson added: “We dopublish the budget in full andit’s regularly updated tocabinet, but the minute detailJohn Pugh is looking for is inthe past and impractical.”Sefton Council’s leader,Labour councillor PeterDowd, hit back at Mr Pugh’scomments and said: “We’rehaving the most transparentand open budgetary processwe’ve ever had and he’s twoyears too late.”FTrappedman iscut freefrom carA MAN was cut freefrom his car in theearly hours ofTuesday morningfollowing a collision.Firefighters arrivedat the incident nearthe junction ofPasture Lane andSouthport Old Road,Formby at about1.30am where theyfound the car partlyinaditch.They usedhydraulic cuttinggear to remove arear door of a car toallow paramedics tomove the45–year–old–manon to a long board toa waitingambulance.He was then rushedto UniversityHospital Aintree.An appliance fromFormby CommunityFire Station and anappliance fromBootle andNethertonCommunity FireStation attended thecall–out.The Search andRescue Team, basedat CroxtethCommunity FireStation alsoresponded to thecall–out.KiddielandEST. 1962Visit us @ www.ChampNews.com • 3• Prams • Car Seats • Furniture • Toys • AccessoriesJANUARY OFFERSilver Cross 3D Pramwith bagTelephone: 0151 922 5075315-323 Stanley Road, Kirkdale, Liverpool L5 7QFOpen 10am-5pm (10-4pm Wed) CLOSED SundayTake a look at these helpful guides...Available for FREE DOWNLOAD nowat champnews.comWas £335NOWONLY£2351115575Available in arange of coloursMust be paid & collected byend of January 20131115396Ancestry helpdesk for residents whowant to trace their family historyNEXT month, Formby residents who areinterested in tracing their family history willhave another chance to use a specialancestry helpdesk at the town’s library.The Duke Street library runs the popularfamily history helpdesk on the first Tuesdayof the month giving help and advice toanyone keen on tracing their family tree.The next session will be held on February 5.Formby Library manager, Lisa Laisney,said: “With families getting together overChristmas we often find there is anincreased interest in tracing family historyand people have gleaned pieces ofAvailable for freedownload now atchampnews.comYour KitchenTRANSFORMEDDoors, Drawer Fronts, Handlesand Worktops changedfrom £1200 to £1600– including fitting!For a Free,No Obligation Consultation,please phoneNEW LOOK KITCHENSnow on01704 2337771112108information which may help but they are notsure how to proceed.“There is no need to book and people fromthe local Family History Society will be onhand from 10.30am until noon to answerany queries so please come along.“Items such as the Ancestry website whichis available free in the library and alsoinformation such as Parish Registers andstreet directories which can all help infinding important information.”For more information on all the eventstaking place, call Formby Library on 01704874177.GlassesWhile You Wait2 pairs of single vision glasses from £752 pairs of bifocal glasses from £952 pairs of varifocal glasses from £115£10EYETESTSSingle vision lenses while you wait.Same day service on varifocaland bifocal lensesEmergency repair serviceContact LensesFREE NHS Sight TestsHome Visits AvailableKids Go Free* terms & conditions apply.Blundellsands Optical Ltd13 - 15 MerseyviewBrighton-le-Sands L22 6QA0151 931 46191113811Worried you mightneed a new bestfriend in 2013?Our experienced team of family lawyers willhelp make the separation and divorce process as stressfree as possible for everyone - even poor Scamp!0800 694 6660Family services -Flying the Flag for You and Your FamilyLIVERPOOL CITY CENTRE 0151 227 4545AINTREE FORMBY HESWALL HUYTON KIRKBY MAGHULL WEST KIRBY

That’s when I went to see the stop smoking nursewho comes to the hospital and since I stopped I’venoticed a difference in my breathing,” explains Suzanne,who has her sights set on running in the Race for Life.Going to SUPPORT - rather than quitting on your own– increases your chances of successfully stoppingfourfold.

Is not the reality thatdecontamination of brownfield sites inboroughs such as Sefton is needed to protectthe green belt and boost the economy?”Safe and soundIn response, Mr Pickles said: “The truth is thatwe are making money available to ensure thatcontaminated brownfield sites can be dealtwith. He is making an enormous mistake insuggesting that all brownfield sites areundevelopable; that is entirely wrong. Somebrownfield sites are green and some greenfieldsites are brown.”The Secretary of State then went on to say:“The green belt remains very safe and sound incoalition care. The position is clearly laid out inthe national planning policy framework, andthe bill does not affect the green belt one iota.”But Mr Esterson said the government wereplaying politics with the country’s greenbelt.He said: “Eric Pickles, the Tories and LibDems in Government are saying one thing, butencouraging developers in to do another.“They introduced the National PlanningPolicy Framework which gives the greenlightto building on the green belt.“Instead of Mr Pickles usual doublespeak, Iwant to hear him and his fellow ministers statecategorically that the green belt should not beThe area of Formby’s green belt earmarkedfor development, which campaigners arefighting to save, was completely floodedjust before ChristmasCode NAMP Bill Esterson.Code1047537built on.
